Matthew Boyd has been a little better lately, but the lefty still is having a horrible season with a 6.64 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 40 2/3 innings. Boyd has been stung by the long ball surrendering 11 homers.  
The Brewers are way overdue to get their struggling offense going. Christian Yelich, Ryan Braun and Avisail Garcia are far more accomplished hitters than what their statistics show. 
The Brewers have been more effective against southpaws, though, ranking in the top 10 against them in several of the metric categories such as slugging percentage, OPS and OBP. 
Milwaukee is going with Corbin Burnes. He's pitched well during his past couple of outings. But I'm not sold. He's given up 19 walks in 38 1/3 innings. The Tigers rank in the top 13 in batting average and runs.
